Statement

My work is focused about the practice of forming stains on the canvases and then expanding it repeatedly with water, until I observe the manifestation of the “messengers” as I call them. The beginning of experimentation were the installations where I investigated the spiritual relationship with sexuality, what is expressed through the physicality of the soul, the works were above all ephemeral, I experimented with flowers, tights, different fabrics and the use of space as the main medium.

In recent years I have focused on spirituality as a means of historical narration, reflecting on the figure of the messenger as guardian/protector of time. The reflection on the figure of the messenger as guardian of time is the phase in which my research is currently focused, the relationship between peoples and the one who brings the message has led this figure to have an importance in my works, as from different registers it had historically an importance in the rites of adoration and regard.

In my work I understand this figure as the guardian of time since the messenger makes a symbolic transition between earth and sky, uniting one with the other in a single path and changing in turn with his message the fortune of those who meet him. Time is that symbolic transmutation in this exchange.
